Actually, the whole song sums up my year.
"Birds fall from the window ledge above mine,
then they flap their wings at the last second.
You see, birds fall from the window ledge above mine,
then they flap their wings at the last second.
I can see their dead weight just dropping like stones,
or small loaves of bread past my window all the time.
But unless I get up and walk across the room,
and peer down below
I don't see their last-second curves
toward a horizontal flight.
All these birds just falling from the ledge like stones
Now due to a construct in my mind,
that makes their falling and their flight
symbolic of my entire existence,
it becomes important for me to get up and see
their last second curves toward flight.
It's almost as if my life will fall
unless I see their ascent.

I said birds fall from the window ledge above mine,
then they flap their wings at the last second.
But unless I get up and walk across the room,
and peer down below,
I won't see their last-second curves

Now due to a construct in my mind,
that makes their falling and their flight
symbolic of my entire existence,
it becomes important for me to get up and see
their last second curves toward flight.
It's almost like my life will fall,
my life will fall - unless I see their ascent.
